eradication of evil made certain. When “the day cometh, that shall
[311]
burn as an oven; ... all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly,
shall be stubble, and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith
the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”
Malachi 4:1
.
Never will evil again be manifest. The law of God will be hon-
ored as the law of liberty. A tested and proved creation will never
again turn from allegiance to Him whose character has been mani-
fested as fathomless love and infinite wisdom.
